Bravo Farms Smokehouse is coming soon and will feature artisan style barbeque, and the fresh quality that you would expect from their trusted name.

Above is the official press release I wrote for Bravo Farms. It was just delivered to all of the local news in-boxes. NOW the really fun part... I get to tell you my OPINION. Press releases need to be written in a certain format and based on facts, but I'm excited to share what I'm looking forward to! I can't tell you how excited I am to have a place in town to go for fresh, delicious food! I never realized how big the old Wagon Wheel building is until today's tour. It was really dated when it was Wagon Wheel, but I can tell you from the drywall dust on my shoes, that everything is brand spankin' new and fresh. When it is done it will be unrecognizable. Lunch will be a healthy, fresh version of a fast lunch, just like the Tulare restaurant. I can't wait for the dinner menu! If the staff and service are anything like the Bravo Farms in Tulare, it will be fantastic! I've never met such pleasant and helpful people. I've said it once, and I'll say it forever...find a place to call your own and put down some roots. Get to know people at the place you love, make some friends. It will make your experience so much more personal and enjoyable. Cheers knew what they were talking about when they said, "sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name". Supporting local restaurants is good for everyone. You know I'll keep you in the loop and let you know when they are open for business, and include pictures when it's finished. Get your taste buds ready!
